mac_v | thorwil: hi , WIP for boot gdm, comments ? http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1325768/gdm.png | 13:32 |
mac_v | it has a lot of things that need to be done to give it a more 3D feel , just dont know how to do it subtle ! | 13:33 |
thorwil | mac_v: not enough padding above/below the avatar images | 13:34 |
thorwil | would work without that bright frame, indicating selection by size, only | 13:35 |
thorwil | too much padding to the left of avatars | 13:35 |
thorwil | (relatively) | 13:35 |
mac_v | ah. yeah | 13:35 |
thorwil | seems blurry | 13:36 |
mac_v | which? | 13:36 |
thorwil | if there are supposed to be shadows, you need to do something to the edges of the boxes | 13:36 |
thorwil | the item boxes | 13:36 |
thorwil | you will have to adjust the login options bar | 13:37 |
thorwil | coffee, cake and cycling time, bbl | 13:38 |
mac_v | hehe ;) | 13:38 |
MadsRH | Does anyone know how Xsplash work? | 15:48 |
mac_v | !xsplash | 16:28 |
ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xsplash | 16:28 |
mac_v | !find xsplash | 16:28 |
ubottu | File xsplash found in wx2.6-doc, wx2.8-doc | 16:28 |
mac_v | sheesh! | 16:29 |
mac_v | !info xsplash | 16:30 |
ubottu | Package xsplash does not exist in jaunty | 16:30 |
mac_v | comments anyone > http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1325768/gdm.png < just trying an idea for the user list , nothing but the user list has been changed | 16:49 |
MadsRH | Is the artwork hardcoded or can you change the animation, background, etc.? | 17:01 |
mac_v | MadsRH: actually i wanted to show it to mat as an idea for the gdm , so it is supposed to have animation where the user name grows and comes forward | 17:04 |
MadsRH | mac_v -> That would look great. Looking forward to seeing the animation ;-) | 17:05 |
mac_v | MadsRH: do you notice any artistic flaws in the list? | 17:06 |
MadsRH | mac_v -> no, it looks great, but if there were more than the five users I would make the top/bottom ones semi-transparent / fadeout - just a thought | 17:22 |
mac_v | MadsRH: for long lists > http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1325768/gdm-grip.png | 17:22 |
mac_v | yeah the fade idea is nice | 17:23 |
MadsRH | mac_v -> or perhaps arrows at the top/bottom? but of course the scrollbar tells you how long the list is, so I guess that one is better | 17:27 |
rsc___ | oooh ubuntu artwork progress! | 17:28 |
rsc___ | yummy | 17:28 |
thorwil | mac_v: an option for long lists would be to make it a tsunami menu | 17:28 |
mac_v | yeah , i thought of that too. but the size of the list was the prob , but i would prefer the arrows | 17:28 |
mac_v | thorwil: what? ;p | 17:28 |
mac_v | thorwil: did you just get back or did you check the link? | 17:29 |
thorwil | mac_v: also called fish-eye menu. basically what apple does with the icons on the panel | 17:31 |
thorwil | mac_v: but this principal has been applied to alphabetically sorted lists with many, many items. works | 17:32 |
mac_v | thorwil: ah that , nice ... | 17:32 |
thorwil | mac_v: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/fisheyemenu/ | 17:32 |
mac_v | hmmm.... interesting | 17:33 |
MadsRH | thorwil -> +1 looks like an interesting idea | 17:36 |
* mac_v would love if the gdm was made fisheye > 3 so that more can appreciate it | 17:37 | |
thorwil | mac_v: regarding http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1325768/gdm-grip.png, is the user name supposed to change from left aligned to centered on selection? | 17:37 |
mac_v | yes | 17:38 |
thorwil | odd | 17:38 |
mac_v | thorwil: just trying crazy stuff ;p | 17:38 |
mac_v | thorwil: seemed like the names right-aligned was a waste of horizontal space , so centered the selected name only | 17:39 |
rsc___ | it may look weird when it shifts from left-aligned to center aligned (when something is selected) | 17:44 |
rsc___ | but i dont know | 17:45 |
rsc___ | :) | 17:45 |
mac_v | rsc___: its just a mockup , definately center aligned wont be done , so no worries | 17:45 |
* thorwil -> dinner | 17:47 | |
rsc___ | thorwil: how did Kyudo do? :) | 17:47 |
rsc___ | i ahvent been around for a while | 17:48 |
mac_v | rsc___: what kyudo? | 17:48 |
mac_v | whats* | 17:48 |
thorwil | rsc___: hi. i took it apart and you now find it spread apart at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation | 18:27 |
rsc___ | ah. | 18:28 |
rsc___ | sweet. | 18:28 |
thorwil | mac_v: it was an attempt at a design process and documentation to have a basis for community artwork | 18:30 |
thorwil | mac_v: to define what the goals are. to get away from all this "too brown!" vs "not brown enough!" | 18:31 |
rsc___ | LOL at "not brown enough" | 18:35 |
rsc___ | how many times have i heard that :/ | 18:35 |
rsc___ | though all the "should be brown" and "shouldn't be brown" talk all cancel each other often | 18:35 |
thorwil | rsc___: it is right now happening again on the mailing list ... | 18:35 |
rsc___ | thorwil, whats the latest artwork to be crucified? | 18:36 |
thorwil | rsc___: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot/Demo | 18:36 |
rsc___ | hmm | 18:37 |
rsc___ | nice. | 18:37 |
rsc___ | any word on the GTK theme btw? | 18:38 |
thorwil | no | 18:38 |
thorwil | it wouldn't surprise me to be treated with black panels ;) | 18:39 |
rsc___ | haha. | 18:39 |
thorwil | rsc___: look at one level up for contrast: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot/ | 18:41 |
rsc___ | btw, usplash is going to be replaced by something new, yeah? | 18:41 |
rsc___ | not bad | 18:42 |
rsc___ | mr. doob's is pretty cute too | 18:42 |
thorwil | "* Graphical boot splash that will be running on top of X-server, not Usplash " | 18:42 |
rsc___ | cool. | 18:42 |
rsc___ | i would assume X would kick in sooner in the boot process | 18:43 |
rsc___ | for this to happen, i mean | 18:43 |
* SiDi just hopes the final infrastructure will come soon enough for boot process | 22:36 | |
SiDi | So knome can cook up some flying mice for the boot | 22:36 |
knome | o.O | 22:37 |
